    On the walls of the canyon you can find loads of Petroglyphs, carved into the rock by the ancient inhabitants of Mesa Verde.

      January 18, 2025

      The petroglyph panel along the Petroglyph Point Trail in Mesa Verde National Park measures over 35 feet wide and contains more than 30 distinct carvings created by the Ancestral Pueblo people. These petroglyphs include representations of human figures, animals, spirals, handprints, and abstract designs, with the exact meanings of the carvings unknown. Preserving this panel is crucial, as the carvings are fragile and irreplaceable. Visitors are reminded not to touch or deface the petroglyphs to ensure their survival for future generations.
